Love the thunder and rain footage. Where I live (Forest Grove Oregon, USA) we don't get thunder more than a couple times a year. I miss it. I was curious what you have for farming stores out there? We have two big chains (Coastal Farm and Ranch, and Wilco Farming Supply) and several smaller ones. Coastal is a bit of a "everything you need if you don't live in a city" sort of store; you can get everything from chicks to firearms to work clothes to hard candy.

Good to see the incredibly lucky Liam . I know that some folk hate being on Camera, but I suspect that if you could "interview" your dad from time to time, sometimes on very specific subjects occasionally on general farm strategy it would be interesting. For example it is evident that there is no money in non Merino wool so it would be interesting to hear whether you are working towards breeding sheep that shed their fleeces. I have noticed that the viewers of farm videos react positively to the interactions of families at work. Alternatively, Dad can tell us all to bugger off!

Lol, he's not very talkative but I can try 😂 I can answer the question about the wool and shedding though. That's why we're moving into the Primelines, they are a meat breed and the studs are currently breeding things in them like worm resistance, foot rot resistance and shedding. So eventually we will however shedding primeline mobs are very expensive to buy, so we just get the occasional one in the mobs we do purchase.

On my days off from work, I used to travel to East Jindabyne to help my brother out on his farm, the work was mostly weed control, Serrated Tussock. My brother ran Angus cows on his property that were easy to deal with, they knew that when a gate got opened, they knew they were meant to go through it, so easy, I think they even gave a thank you wink as they went past. The problem on the property was that my brother agisted some of his paddocks to old Henry from next door for his sheep, what I learnt from working there, is that cows are smart and sheep are dumb.

TAS, I thought I’d tell you, I often end links to my rels in the US. Not blood rels, but rels none the less ( I spent 3 months there last year). The one who gets a kick out of your stuff I. Big ou try boy at heart. He I. 70 year old retired orthopaedic surgeon. Hi wife is a retired 68 year old orthopaedic surgeon, who is an Apache. They live on the edge of the San Carlos Reservation which is huge! The nearest town is Globe, which is a BHP town because of the copper smelter. Jody, the husband, till does doctor work on the Reservation, he comes from. Very tiny little town south of Globe, where his father ran the local bar. His place is bout 60 acres nd the centre is spectacular, it’s almost enough to make me believe in God. Sitting by his pool, watching the thousands of bees coming to drink from the spa, watching the Red Cardinals swooping the pool to rink, watching the quail come in at dusk to drink, watching th ghost Bats swoop the Insects. Anyway, be aware, you’re educating an American surgeon, he has visited us here. His brother-in-law is an interesting man, a real Apache “Chief” he works in Earth moving, but his real work is making prize winning jewellery and finding digging, polishing and mounting semi precious stones. You can sit with him and have a very meaningful conversation, saying maybe 20 words in 30 minutes. His Wife is also very interesting, but she doesn’t talk much to whites, she is a Tribal Policeman and is the Reservation Water Commissioner, which is a really big deal in a high desert reservation. She arbitrates, sometimes she will hear a case, then think for a few months before convening the parties again to ask more questions. She says she doesn’t make decisions, she lets the parties find the right path.

@@TaraFarms there are actually 3 surgeons in the family, their daughter-in-law is also a surgeon, their son is an engineer. You would get on very well with their daughter-in-law. She comes from a gorgeous town in Iowa, on the upper Mississippi, about 50 to 60,000 people, some lovely old architecture, the town is in the middle of corn country but with the river has and had commercial and industrial overtones. The towns history is very interesting, one aspect is that gangsters, during prohibition, used to “holiday” there (I’m assuming with their “molls” and the like). The people are more “urban” there than Arizona, but the daughter-in-law has socialised in Arizona well, she adores the outdoors and gets out into it when not armpit deep in someone in the operating theatre or wrangling her 2 children. You would probably be interested in the sheep “keeping” practises of the Navajo, very different. The Navajo Nation is the largest Native American Nation in the U.S., if you use SBS online there is a series set in the Nation. I’m afraid I practise “cultural appropriation” because I buy their craft and appreciate their use of colour, texture, line and form.

Thank you for that feedback! And I appreciate the list of segments that I do, I have it in my head but haven’t actually ever written it down like that! Dad thinks it’s good because it’s showing people what farming actually looks like. I trained Typo and Dad trained all his dogs. We also bred Typo. Hardest/Worst job I’ll cover in a video because that’s a lengthy topic. ☺️

@@TaraFarms Thank you 🙏. The last 7 years I have lived and worked in a smaller town surrounded by farms. I grew up in a city by the beach. And it’s such a contrast. I have learned to be a lot more self sufficient in almost everything I do. It’s kinda weird but even changing a tyre. For example, I knew how in a theoretical sense to change a tyre but I never really had to change one before or NRMA did for me. I’ve changed a couple of dozens of times now because of things like phone reception or being out late at night (shift worker/nurse) I didn’t want to be stuck in the middle of winter at night. Plus a lot of my patients were or are farmers. They would show me how to do things. It’s how I found your channel. It’s mostly dairy farms up here or macadamia/fruit/vegi farms. One of my patients is 103 years old. Her grandparents were on a neighbouring farm. She had some stories. She remembered having to go into town with horse and carriage because there were no cars. Her dad had the second car in the town when she was 10. She went into on a Sunday for church. The mechanic was a different faith and prayed on a Saturday and he would tune up there car on the Sunday while they were at church. She said it was nothing for them to walk miles to see their grandparents. She and her brother would walk through the bulls paddock because it was closer to home and often they would have fruit from their grandparents place and if they weren’t careful the bull would charge them. She said it would occasionally get/trample the watermelon . But neither would tell their dad why the bull was a bit angry. The stories I have heard are amazing. The farmers always had a way of telling a story. I remember working Christmas Day one year and a teenager came in. Limping. And the security guard was very much from the city and had been with us for a couple of weeks. And the mum came in with a whip and the look 👀 look on security face was amazing. Teenage boys with new motor bikes on Christmas Day. I can only shake my head. No protective clothing and just out of the pool and a game of chicken gone wrong.

Maybe keep a shop vac with you with a 12v inverter in the paddock car. You can shop vac the ground instead of using a shovel or trash pump. My yard is shit, the shop vac helps

When getting up those wheat piles, why not take a shop vac out with you and plug it into a power inverter? Seems that would be faster and more efficient.

I’m sure this is a stupid question. What is the purpose of docking the tails? Is it for cleanliness?😊
@TaraFarms5 ай бұрын
Not a stupid question. We dock tails for hygiene and because of fly strike. When sheep have longer tails they catch urine and 💩 in their tails. It can ball up or if it’s runny leave a wet mess. In summer and end of spring flies are attracted to it and lay eggs in the sheep’s wool and they hatch and eat the sheep. I’ve done videos on fly strike if you wanted to learn more about that.

Yeah, almost 50% of my viewers are from the US alone! Apparently a lot of other farm channels are the same.
